1972 Map of Booker SE

About this map

Oil and Gas Field operations dominate this 1970s landscape along the border of Ochiltree and Lipscomb counties. The map reveals a highly developed industrial network where an extensive Pipeline system and numerous wells intersect with the natural drainage of the High Plains. Water features provide the primary geographic structure, with Kiowa Creek cutting through the northern section and the winding course of Gilhula Creek carving deep relief into the central and southern terrain. Small-scale aviation and resource extraction are evident through the presence of Landing Strips and multiple Gravel Pits. Aside from these industrial markers, the area remains largely open, defined by its water sources like Arroyo Cottonwood, First Creek, and a solitary Spring, reflecting the era's focus on energy production in the Texas Panhandle.
